In the fast paced modern world cloud computing is essential to keep in stride with workload and other stuff too. All important documentation goes in the cloud and all collaborators can reach it from there. One of the brightest representatives of cloud computing platforms is OpenStack, which is free and open-source and can be implemented for private and public clouds. There are various possibilities to interact with the platform: web-based OpenStack dashboard, command line, or through RESTful services. OpenStack networking has been so popular because the API is so open. Thousands of contributors actively communicate with each other in this innovative ecosystem on a daily basis.

A variety of cloud services are being based on OpenStack API thus offering same innovations and powerful possibilities. An example of such service would be AgileCLOUD – a high-performance cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform. This OpenStack storage allows weaving virtual and hardware servers into one environment thanks to its out-of-the-box hybrid hosting features. It can easily satisfy large enterprises with its flexibility and scalability.

As the mission of this highly performing OpenStack service is to serve anything from small to large workloads it makes a lot of sense to add such wonderful convenience to it as having the possibility to work with it on your Mac in Finder app the same way you would work with local files stored on the computer. You can use the CloudMounter app in order to simply mount your AgileCLOUD storage on your Mac as an additional Mac disk and have all documentation available in Finder. This way you are not cluttering your computer and working with loads of files extra conveniently.
